Your answer :
778  = 6310 3338  = 21910 5378  = 35110 6008  = 38410  This group contains a mistake.
Well, let’s check by writing the octal numbers in expanded form:
778  = 7(81) + 7(80)  = 7(8) + 7(1) = 6310; 3338  = 3(82) + 3(81) + 3(80)  = 3(64) + 3(8) + 3(1) = 21910; 5378  = 5(82) + 3(81) + 7(80)  = 5(64) + 3(8) + 7(1) = 35110; 6008  = 6(82) + 0(81) + 0(80)  = 6(64) + 0(8) + 0(1) = 38410.
They’re all correct. Return to Page 182 and try again.
